The Swamp

I have my doubts, but it's not like she's doing this to become a stereotypically sleazy defense lawyer (not a dig on defense attorney's just saying that the practice of law does attract some unsavory Avenatti types who seem to be attracted to money and klieg lights.)

If I were worth $300 million or whatever ridiculous number her net worth is I wouldn't work another day in my life, so again can't really kill her too much for wanting to actually make a difference. Like I said I have my doubts, but whatever -- I really don't care either.

But I guess my biggest question is -- is it possible to get accepted into a law school without an undergrad degree even if you wailed on the LSATs? If so, not sure why she wouldn't just go to law school for three years instead.

I think she sees the talk about working for the underprivileged and becoming a lawyer as a means to that end. I don't take her at her word for suddenly becoming altruistic and dedicated at this point in her life. Let's see her put in the work, first.

It's also weird how many strange noises I hear in our empty house.

I live with 2 girls (my gf and my really good friend who moved here from Tucson) and yes, holy crap on the dishes. Plus they are both the "leave half filled cups of water everywhere" and "leave dishes/bowls in the sink with water/food on them when the dishwasher is empty" types. Maddening.

Ditto on the noises. After the kitchen remodel I just hear creaks and shit. I fully expect to come home to something that fell through the ceiling or off of the wall.

Johnnie wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2019 6:27 pm Ever notice that people who tell you to "pick your battles" are basically just telling you to "shut the fuck up, you lose and this isn't worth discussing further"?

Ultimately, there's no battle work picking when you're outranked by everyone. Even if it's for someone you supervise who you feel is getting a raw deal.

"Bone" might be lower. With "pork" I'd at least have to account for the chance the speaker is being sarcastic.
